In photosynthesis, water, carbon dioxide, and light energy react to produce glucose and oxygen. Based on the law of conservation of energy, what happened to the light energy in the reaction? Select TWO correct answers.

Question

It was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar.

It was changed into carbon dioxide gas.

It was converted into carbonic acid.

It was destroyed.

It was neither created nor destroyed.

Answer 1

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the correct answers would be:

1. It was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar.
2. It was neither created nor destroyed.

In photosynthesis, light energy is captured and transformed into chemical energy in the form of glucose, while the total energy remains conserved.
